The Constitution. 




^fT being evident, from a steady decline of a 
proper celebration of the National holidays of 
the United States of America, that popular 
concern in the events and men of the war of 
the Revolution is gradually declining, and 
that such lack of interest is attributable, not 
so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly 
increasing flood of immigration from foreign 
countries, as to the neglect, on the part of 
descendants of Revolutionary heroes, to perform their duty 
in keeping before the public mind the memory of the services 
of their ancestors and of the times in which the)- lived ; there- 
fore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been insti- 
tuted to per[)etuate the memory of the men who, in the military, 
naval and civil service of the Colonies and of the Continental 
Congress, by their acts or counsel, achieved the Independence 
of the country, and to further the proper celebration of the 
anniversaries of the birthdaj' of Washington, and of prominent 
events connected with the war of the I-vevolution ; to collect 
and secure for preservation the rolls, records and other docu- 
ments relating to that period ; to inspire the members of the 
Society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; and to 
promote the feeling of friendship among them. 

The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, 
which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor 
in their respective by-laws, and oftener if found expedient ; 
and at such annual meeting the reasons for the institution 
of the Society shall be considered, and the best measures for 
carrying them into effect adopted. 

7 



The State Societies, at each annual meeting, shall choose, 
by a majority of the votes present, a president, a vice-president, 
a secretary, a registrar, a treasurer, a chaplain, and such other 
officers as may by them respectively be deemed necessary, 
together with a board of managers consisting of these officers 
and of nine other members, all of whom shall retain their 
respective positions until their successors are duly chosen. 

Each Stale Society shall cause to be transmitted annually, 
or oftener, to the other State Societies, a circular letter calling 
attention to whatever may be thought worthy of observation 
respecting the welfare of the Society or of the general union 
of the States, and giving information of the officers chosen for 
the year; and copies of these letters shall also be transmitted 
to the General Secretary, to be preserved among the records 
of the General Society. 

The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting 
their own affairs, consistent with the general good of the 
Society ; judge of the qualification of their members or of 
those proposed for membership, subject, however, to the pro- 
visions of this Constitution ; and e.xpel any member who, by 
conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, or by 
an opposition to the interests of the community in general or 
of the Society in particular, may render himself unworthy to 
continue in membership. 

In order to form funds that may be respectable, each mem- 
ber shall contribute, upon his admission to the Society and 
annually thereafter, such sums as the by-laws of the respec- 
tive State Societies may require ; but any of such State 
Societies may provide for the endowment of memberships by 
the payment of proper sums in cajiitalization, which sums 
shall be properly invested as a permanent fund, the income 
only of which shall be expended. 

The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held 
every three years, and special meetings may be held upon 
the order of the General President or upon the request of 
two of the State Societies, and such meetings shall consist 
of the General Officers and a representation not exceeding 



9 

five deputies from each State Society, and the necessary- 
expenses of such meeting shall be borne by the State So- 
cieties. 

At the regular meeting, a General President, Vice-Presi- 
dent, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant 
Treasurer and Chaplain shall be chosen by a majority of the 
votes present, to serve until the next regular general meet- 
ing, or until their successors are duly chosen. 

At each general meeting the circular letters which have 
been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be con- 
sidered, and all measures taken which shall conduce to the 
general welfare of the Society. 

The General Society shall have power at any meeting to 
admit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and determine 
all questions affecting the qualifications for membership in or 
the welfare of any State Society as may, by proper memorial, 
be presented by such State Society for consideration. 

Any male person above the age of twenty-one years, of 
good character, and a descendant of one who, as a military, 
naval or marine officer, soldier, sailor or marine, in actual 
service, under the authority of any of the thirteen Colonies or 
States or of the Continental Congress, and remaining always 
loyal to such authority, or a descendant of one who signed 
the Declaration of Independence, or of one who, as a member 
of the Continental Congress or of the Congress of any of the 
Colonies or States, or as an official appointed by ^r under the 
authority of any such legislative bodies, actually assisted in 
the establishment of American Independence by services 
rendered during the war of the Revolution, becoming thereby 
liable to conviction of treason against the government of 
Great Britain, but remaining always loyal to the authority of 
the Colonies or States, shall be eligible to membership in the 
Society. 

The Secretary of each State Society shall transmit to the 
General Secretary a list of the members thereof, together 
with the names and official designations of those from whom 
such members derive claim to membership, and thereafter 



lO 

upon the admission of members in each State Society', the 
Secretary thereof shall transmit to the General Secretary 
information respecting such members similar to that herein 
required. 

The Societj' shall liave an insignia, which shall be a badge 
suspended from a ribbon by a ring of gold ; the badge 
to be elliptical in form, with escaloped edges, one and one- 
quarter inches in length, and one and one-eighth inches in 
width ; the whole surmounted by a gold eagle, with wings 
displayed, inverted ; on the obverse side a medallion of gold 
in the centre, elliptical in form, bearing on its face the figure 
of a soldier in Continental uniform, with musket slung; 
beneath, the figures 1775 ; the medallion surrounded by 
thirteen raised gold stars of five points each upon a border of 
dark blue enamel. On the reverse side, in the centre, a me- 
dallion corresponding in form to that on the obverse, and also 
in gold, bearing on its face the Houdon portrait of Washing- 
ton in bas-relief, encircled by the legend, "Sons of the Revo- 
lution"; beneath, the figures 1883; and upon the reverse of 
the eagle the number of the badge to be engraved ; the me- 
dallion to be surrounded by a plain gold border, conforming 
in dimensions to the obverse ; the ribbon shall be dark blue, 
ribbed and watered, edged with buff, one and one-quarter 
inches wide, and one and one-half inches in displa\-ed length. 

The insignia of the Society shall be worn by the members 
on all occasions when they assemble as such for any stated 
purpose or celebration, and may be worn on any occasion of 
ceremony; it shall be carried conspicuously on the left breast, 
but members who are or have been officers of the Society 
may wear the insignia suspended from the ribbon around the 
neck. 

The custodian of the insignia shall be the General Secre- 
tary, who shall issue them to members of the Society under 
such proper rules as may be formulated by the General 
Society, and he shall keep a register of such issues wherein 
each insignia issued may be identified b\' the number thereof

Societ}', Excgi vionumciitiim cere pcrcnnius ; across the top of

the Minute-man, and also on a ribbon, the figures 1883, the 
year of the formation of the Society ; the whole encircled by a 
band three-eighths of one inch wide ; thereon at the top
